ASTM F1731-96 standard published by the American Testing and Materials Organization (ASTM) describes the characteristics and testing methods of fire and rescue services uniforms and other thermal hazardous protective clothing. The full name of this standard is as follows: ASTM F1731-96 Standard practice for body measurement and sizing of fire and rescue services uniforms and other thermal hazardous protective clothing.
Measurement values are a critical factor to consider when choosing and using protective clothing. Properly sized clothing increases the user's safety and performance without restricting movement. Whereas, a work wear that restricts movement or exposes the body to dangerous environments leads to decreased productivity and injuries.
Where workwear becomes an element of a multi-layered protective whole, it should not restrict the user's movements or prevent the wearing and use of other safety-related clothing and equipment.
This practice is especially important in choosing the size and fit of the appropriate workwear for fire and rescue personnel and those working in similar professions where dangerous thermal exposures will occur.
ASTM F1731-96 standard, outfit for fire and rescue services workers and those who will be exposed to thermal hazardsaims to assist in the selection of size of their meat. Work clothes generally consist of a shirt and trousers combination. This standard applies to both women's and men's personnel clothing.
Briefly, the ASTM F1731-96 standard is used as a tool to evaluate the fit of selected uniform sizes. This standard provides a standard list of textiles and ready-to-wear terminology that is specific to the clothing industry, used to determine clothing sizes and fit.
